Framing this as something cyclic as the rest of the world is static may be a mistake if things have deep changes outside (related or not with what is being done here), or the nature of the field radically changes. Then the cycle is broken,

The article covers a lot of ground, but where he was explaining artists, rights, and copyrights, I couldn't stop thinking that in good part, what artists (and programmers, and a lot of other professions that are threatened by AIs) is m

A stack of blank pages and an inkwell contains all the elements needed for every book ever written, but still takes much more than the elements themselves to create a book.

After all we said and done, we will be only a memory in some future AI model. And maybe it will answer the meaning of the number 42.

I believe that alien intelligence exists, somewhere. What remains uncertain is whether human intelligence does as well. Think in the asymmetries in how we pay attention to new information.

May not be related with this in particular, but how many names that are not tied to any shooting or whatever appear in low activity google trends? It could happen with most names around the region where you live, i.e. related with spam camp

Reality is complicated. The future may be unknowable from a strict point of view. But educated guesses are better than just random. Not for lotto numbers, but to take better decisions. Deciding that everything is potentially false, biased,

Or a human that does the LLM trick of recalling how the first reference I've read about that was written.

It's ironic to use reputation system for this. 20+ years ago there were mail blacklists that basically blocked residential IP blocks as there should not be servers trying to send normal mail from there. Now you must try the opposite, b

By some perspective, what made us unique was our ability to have a hint on the future, pattern recognition, superstition, religion and then science gave us a grasp of the outcome of what happens in a future, usually after an action by ourse

"nobody"... of the vocal ones. Anyway, I would be more afraid of agents than just AI answering about things, generating images/music or whatever. That could affect much more than just privacy.

Life finds a way. Add a potentially usable food source in big enough numbers and the ones that take advantage of that will thrive.

It is not pseudocode? It doesn't have to be something with strict syntax or very limited keywords, but maybe the compiler/linter (llm) could point out when you are being ambiguous or not defining how something should be done if se

It is about the community documentation of the prometheus metrics, not the metrics themselves. But it is another step in the wrong direction.

One thing that worked for me was, with a particular big database, to use borg instead of restic. Most of the database was historical data that usually don't change, the mysqldump file is almost identical with the exception of the new a

The problem is that you don't see the averages. What you see is that in some places for some days the temperature was 40°C over what they used to have in that time of the year ( https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail&#

More important than that, we are not talking about the temperature you are feeling right now where you are, but global average temperature, and in the context of the 1.5°C over the preindustrial average, we are talking about that average, k

Part of the problem of getting +/- 8C of different global temperature is the speed of it. https://xkcd.com/1732/ shows a timeline that goes back to 20000 AC, where global average temperature was like 5ºC less. The

Time is a factor here. How close in time and space would be them? If we get something coming from more than 100 light years away we might not have the technology to respond, and if we do it may not matter anyway if we are at risk of not hav

You need to have extreme weather into account. Global sea rise is a slow process, it won't happen overnight, and even with an accelerated, but not catastrophic, melting of some of the fragile glaciers in Antarctica it will take years.
